I know it's cliché to post "Gee, snow," but I'm not posting about the ice. No, I'm posting as a pissed-off government worker who can't believe they want everyone to report to work 2 hours late. The traffic map is just one big accident. The amount of damage and hardship they caused is insane. Of course, this is an administration that hates government workers. Now, you don't have to work - because you can use your vacation time to give the government a freebie.

Me, I took stuff home and am authorized to work at home. I dutifully work at home all the time, usually putting in more than fair 8 hours. Today, however, while I'll work, I do not promise to be so enthusiastic.

I sympathize more than you know...but at least you have the option of staying home. I think I liked it better when the road crews were less efficient and a storm like this would shut us completely down for an entire day.

Utterly stupid decision to open today (my firm follows the gov't decisions on closing)

Luckily, I'm senior enough that I can make a call on whether I come in or not; and I can also give other people permission not to come in (which I did).

K. and I are headed in...I have no leave.

I e-mailed myself some work but stupidly forgot to get "prior permission". No idea if I could get away with it or not.

I'm glad for the 2 hour delay, since it meant there was no traffic out there at 7:30 this morning. I'm fine with icy conditions, it's other drivers on icy conditions that's scary.

I'm really glad that you were able to stay home. You are probably the only one who puts in the real amount of time. I will say that no snow is the great thing about Florida. I will also say that the weather has been so cold that northern Florida may actually get snow.

Totally on point. This OPM hardly ever lets us close, but I do think that today was an especially stupid decision.

my "client" (fhwa manager person) works from home a lot and would love for me to do so too.
